Australian Open 2025: Gauff sweeps aside Fernandez to reach fourth round

The Hindu  

Last year’s semifinalist Coco Gauff barely put a foot wrong as she continued her rollicking start to the Australian Open with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Canadian 30th seed Leylah Fernandez to reach the fourth round on Friday. Third seed Gauff had taken apart 2021 U.S. Open runner-up Fernandez in their only previous meeting at the United Cup mixed team tournament in late December and fans hoping for a tighter clash at Margaret Court Arena were left disappointed. READ | Australian Open 2025: Injured Osaka retires against Bencic in third round “I think it’s harder, because she knows what to expect. She’s a great competitor and a great person, so I knew it would be a tough match regardless.” Having squandered three opportunities to break in a tough third game, Gauff pounced for a 4-3 advantage as Fernandez sent a shot long, before the 20-year-old American dictated play to close out the opening set.
